Rakang in Jordaan

One of my favorite restaurant in Amsterdam! Great food, amazing service, I keep coming back.

i love this restaurant, it’s really small but it’s cute! i definitely recommend unless your allergic to nuts because that’s a lot of pad thai dishes! the staff are really friendly but the service is a bit slow since it’s so packed!! there is also some nice art on their walls.

Excellent food and fantastic service!!

First time man, what great food, everything was tasty, there were 4 of us and everyone enjoyed it two Tumps upp

Really a favorite, we had a great time, the food is very good and the products are fresh, the cuisine is refined and the staff is so nice, a very good atmosphere, I really recommend it 10000%

Excellent food with very generous portions! Very welcoming servers, nothing to say.

Nothing too special. Good balance of sweetness and spiciness. Short menu is a plus. Could have more soft drinks (eg, non-sweet cold lemongrass tea). Feels a bit overpriced for this experience

The best, tastiest Thai Curries I have had in years. We went there three evenings in a row...

Delicious green beef Thai curry, the best one I had so far in Amsterdam!

Something inconspicuous from the outside revealed the best food in a great atmosphere inside! The food is served in a way that is perfect for sharing at the table! The service was extremely nice! Huge compliment!

Delicious food! very friendly and helpful staff Very clean definitely recommended

Super tasty food and lovely service. We will definitely come back.

Super nice staff and amazing food :)

Excellent food and amazing smiley team at the service

One of my favorite restaurants in Amsterdam. It’s great original Thai food and amazing service.

A nice restaurant with great service! The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is attentive. I highly recommend trying their noodles—they are flavorful and perfectly cooked. A must-try dish!

Una maravillosa auténtica comida tailandesa servida por una siempre atento, sonriente gestión / personal. Destacaron la sopa de camarones calientes/agrios, ensalada de ternera picante, curry rojo de pato y una inusual crema brûlée de coco con rica mousse de chocolate. No podría recomendar este lugar más si usted está visitando Amsterdam.

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Amsterdam, Rakang emerges as a culinary oasis, transporting you straight to the aromatic streets of Thailand. From the moment you step inside, the warm wooden decor and the gentle hum of traditional Thai music envelop you in an authentic experience. Best advice is reserve a table as it can be busy.

Extremly yummy place! You must to eat here -... and reserve your table.

Don’t order fried food. One waiter looked like he was in a rush. Comforting and cosy atmosphere.

Absolutely best Thai restaurant in Amsterdam. One of the best ever , never been to Thailand but been to many many Thai in Europe and this one is the best. We ordered mix starters , very good , chicken green curry & stir fry beef very good. Great food , not spicy but we asked for more spicy and we got it , we asked for extra chili and we got it , we asked for minced garlic and we got it. Great service and great Thai. Thanks to all staff and chef. Thanks Penny.

Delicious food, even 10 years ago. And still great!

Went there with my friend today, one of the most delicious foods we’ve had in a while (as a very picky eater)!!! Personal was very kind and nice, friendly and cozy atmosphere. Will definitely be back☺️

Rude waiter, charged us for tap water and the takeout container, very bad service

We had a delicious and tasty meal here. As an appetizer we had the spring rolls. All flavors really came to the fore. And our main course was with chicken and some beef. We had not made a reservation. But they still had a small spot by the window. Where we had a nice heater at our feet. They also often came to ask if everything was okay. Very sweet

very good service nice personnel eat more delicious

Excellent food, very authentic Thai, and very lovely and helpful wait staff. I would stop by anytime to try and get a table if you're walking by but recommend a reservation. Well worth it.

Great Asian restaurant, it was very tasty and delicious!

Un pequeño lugar acogedor con un personal encantador y atento y deliciosa comida. Recomiendo encarecidamente el sampler de aperitivos con los sabores favoritos del personal. El curry Massaman con carne de res estaba delicioso. El postre de coco brûlée era maravilloso. Todo el menú se ve muy bien.

Everything was so delicious can’t wait to go back!

Great Thai restaurant. Very authentic and an amazing break from European food!

Came here with somd friends. Small place but very much packed. The food was great . We tried some starters. Pad thai was good was wierd to see lot of boiled potatoes in it. Was that a NL thing ?

Best Thai in Amsterdam for over 20 years! Delicious food and fantastic service. Cozy hip restaurant!

Beste Thai van Amsterdam , al meer dan 20 jaar de beste, kwaliteit altijd constant. Gezellige sfeer en fantastisch benoeming!

Loved our experience here. We sat at a table outside, enjoying the beauty of the street and sharing some delicious food.

Super nice restaurant. Very friendly staff. Think about booking in advance, because the establishment is a victim of its success

The food was tasty and served quick. I encountered an unpleasant experience with a male staff(bald) member who was noticeably rude and unwelcoming. It felt as though my presence was an inconvenience to him. When he took our order, he neglected to include rice for two people. Upon inquiring about it, he did not suggest that one bowl would suffice. Instead, he brought two large bowls of rice, which led us to request a change to one bowl of fried rice at an additional cost, as we could not finish both. Had he indicated that one bowl would be enough, I would have opted not to order the second. If he is the owner, it is disappointing, especially considering the reputation for friendliness in Thai culture. In contrast, the female servers were much more pleasant and welcoming. While I would recommend the food, the service from this particular staff member detracted significantly from the dining experience.

Fantastic experience. Food was fabulous and the waiters and waitresses made our evening. Excellent customer service

Really good food, the service was amazing and friendly

¡Alguna de la mejor comida tailandesa que hemos probado en mucho tiempo! Los sabores y la calidad de los platos son increíbles. El servicio es excelente y el personal es muy amable y acogedor. Decidimos ordenar de manera diferente a como lo hacemos en casa. Teníamos el curry de langostinos y el pescado con cilantro y lima. ¡Estas estaban deliciosas! Nos encantó nuestra cena aquí.

Outstanding service with one of the best Thai foods I ever ate - thanks!

We had an amazing dinner, with no doubts the closest taste of the real thai food that I tried in my life outside Thailand. The waiters are smiling and kind, the food is outstanding and the restaurant is extremely clean, zero smell on clothes after dinner contrary to what happens in other places. We’ll come back more than one time for sure! 10 stars deserved!!

When we are in Amsterdam, we wanted to avoid the hotspots known from various social media portals. Because you can eat fries and waffles everywhere in Holland!!! We wanted to experience the city the way normal Dutch people do and didn't want to wait long for overpriced stuff. In the evening we decided on the Asian restaurant Rakang Thai - and there were only Dutch people around us :-) Without a reservation, we were probably lucky to get a table because after a quarter of an hour the place was full. The service was super friendly, explained all the dishes and the food was damn tasty. Sure, the price in Amsterdam is a little more expensive than at the Asian restaurant around the corner, but the price-performance ratio was good. For the first time really eating Thai food, the restaurant was perfect!

The food was quite good, not the best Thai food that I had. One lady in the restaurant staff was quite rude, but everyone else quite helpful.

Delicious authentic Thai food, top service and very friendly staff.

Amsterdam is a world class city…the canals are beautiful…the people are wonderful and friendly I’ll return to Amsterdam every year for Rakang’s Green Curry with Shrimps, Beef Salad, and Pad Thai, and Fish curry Top…

Very nice and professional staff. Great food. Highly recommend ! Had spring roll, Tom kha gai and pad Siew Very yummy

Best Thai Food in Amsterdam hands down the quality of the food is A+.

Very delicious food, very good service, very fast and efficient service, good prices and abundant portions

As a Thai, I can say that this restaurant offers the most authentic Thai food in Amsterdam. This restaurant has been open since 1994 in central Amsterdam so clearly they know what they’re doing!

Top notch good value thai restaurant! Seems like a restaurant where the staff enjoy working, with many returning customers. Nice to sit outside in the summer, more or less quiet street except for the occasional motorcycle (of which the revving should be banned…)

Attentive and fast service. Excellent white wine. The flavors of the food were very good, authentic, the right level of spiciness. The meat (chicken satay and beef) could have been more tender to our taste. Were just 'overcooked'. The shrimp, on the other hand, is a big 10. It's fantastic that you get large shrimps with the curry. We think the prices are on the high side compared to other Thai restaurants in Amsterdam.

Well,what to say....I tried a lot of Thai restaurants where I like to eat,but this is particular because here you eat for real like a king in Thailand, service and kitchen were perfect

Una vez más cenamos en Rakang. Como siempre, la comida era preciosa, la ubicación es genial y el servicio es muy bueno y amable. Mi única queja... es bastante caro. Ámsterdam es un 25 % más querida que las ciudades circundantes, y los restaurantes en el centro de Ámsterdam parecen ser los mejores.

Very tasty Thai food, fast service and super friendly people!!

Super friendly staff serving super tasty authentic Thai cuisine, what could be better. We ordered the chicken spring roll, beef curry, roast duck chili sauce and pad thai. Good portion size. We didn’t order any seafood as we deemed them overpriced. The beef was tender, the roast duck slices had a nice crunch but still tender, the curry sauce is just wonderful over rice, the spring roll was good specially with the sweet dip. The pad thai was just ok (maybe needed more egg, peanut flavor, wok hei). The meal was very satisfying.

Cibo sempre ottimo, ristorante sempre pieno quindi necessita di prenotazione! Opzioni per intolleranza ci sono (in teoria) ma non possono garantirlo. L’abbiamo rischiata lo stesso ma per gente allergica meglio no? Spazio ristretto all’apparenza. Sarebbe piu comodo con meno gente perche non sentivo i miei amici parlare! oops

Absolutely great food. Friendly service and a comfortable experience.

Delicious food reminiscent of my trip to Thailand. Highly recommend

Delicious Thai food. Extremely friendly service. Not expensive.

We have eaten here several times and have also ordered from Rakang several times. Always tastes great and fresh!

Way too expensive for what it is. Also got our food 30 min after. The male server was stern and curt, like I’m offending him by dining there. The female servers were nicer and more accommodating.

The food is good however the service is to pushy to order fast and eating fast

Delicious Thai food!! Recommended I discovered it while walking in Amsterdam and it was an excellent surprise

We arrived in Amsterdam late and went here because it was so close to our hotel. We went back the next night because the food was so good. Soups and curries with depth of flavour, nice room, lovely staff

Really good food and service! Highly recommended

Delicious food, great atmosphere, everything at the highest level.

There was great food, staff always looking to see if I needed help. If you are going to Amsterdam then this is a must eat. I got the steak with spicy sauce and it was yummy. After flying in yesterday it was great to have Asian food the next day. Make sure to get an appetizer. Make sure to eat here. -my 10 yo

The kitchen here certainly knows how to cook. In addition to the traditional flavors, you can really taste that they have infused the flavor of the shrimp heads into the curry. The other dishes were also made to an equal standard. I have to say that I thought it was a bit pricey. For a little bit more you can have a fine dining experience. Then you have fun for a few hours, while after an hour you are back on the street again.

Solid tofu pad Thai to go. The noodles and veggies were nice but the tofu could have been a little crispier. Service was very friendly and organized.

No vegan options, all the curry's have chicken broth in them. Even if you substitutie meet with a vegetarian alternative, the curry itself will not be vegetarian!

Really great food. Very friendly service. Good value.

Great food everything we had was delicious. Just the fact that they charge for tap water was absurd in my opinion.

Very tasty food, very friendly staff and nice locals, absolutely recommended

We'll keep coming here! Fantastic food and friendly employees ✨

Everything is good just ı ordered green curry with broccoli, they said they put but there was no broccoli at all.

Great food, come here if you like authentic Thai. A bit pricey.

Good food but I wouldn't repeat, the place was very small for all the people there, but the staff is friendly and attentive

Very tasty food and super nice service! Highly recommended.

Beautiful area. Incredible flavors. Thai food made by Thais. We recommend !

Good - great food, medium service, quite expensive

Well served and tasty dishes at the right price. The staff is very helpful.

Alright food but €20 for a green papaya salad with a total of 2 shrimps was a joke

Very good chicken coconut soup and pad Thai !!

The best Thai restaurant I’ve ever taste ♥️ A warm welcome from the smiling staff. Some incredible tasty meals, generous amount in your plate of with flavours that remind my trips to Thailand 🤩 Don’t hesitate, it’s AMAZING ! Congrats to the team 👌🏻

Best Thai meal we have ever had. Lovely staff. Highly recommend a visit

Very nice discovery. Excellent dishes. Very pleasant staff

GREAT FOOD ‼️ Definitely worth visiting, we had duck in a sweet and sour sauce and pad thai - both were amazing! The service was friendly and attentive, all went smoothly and the food arrived at the table very quickly. When asked, the servers also had no problem with making a dish a bit less spicy (the duck), which made our dinner even more enjoyable. Overall, a well deserved 10/10.

Ich kann dieses Restaurant nur loben. Wir wurden super freundlich empfangen und haben uns sofort wohlgefühlt. Die Vorspeisen und die Nachspeisen waren hervorragend, wir waren alle begeistert. Zudem war der Service herzlich und entgegenkommend. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Food is excellent, exactly like in Thailand, very authentic. Staff very friendly, service is quick. Only one wish: you should have mango sticky rice :)

We really enjoyed our Thai curries. We'll worth a visit.

Sehr leckeres Essen, von außen unscheinbar aber drinnen tolles Ambiente, wirklich cooler Laden. Alle sehr freundlich, hat Spaß gemacht.

Delicious Thai food. That tender duck in red curry: finger licking good! Smooth and easy operation. Interior is not that Thai. But I don't think anyone cares. It's completely full!

Attentive and caring staff. We really liked our two dishes, one vegetarian and the other duck. Small downside for the tofu, lacking a tad of taste, but that in no way influences the quality of our dinner. The icing on the cake, a coffee worthy of the greatest Italian baristas. To try for all Thai food lovers ✌️

Excellent food, service and ambience!Vegetarian options too

This is my fourth time to this restaurant, foods here are delicious, but I’m very confused by the service and won’t come again. Last time when I was there the server asked us out of nowhere“Are you from China or Taiwan?” I mean??？？ This time, when I and my friends were eating and talking, the service guy come to ask if we finished with very bad attitude. And after the moment we put down the spoon for dessert, the guy came to ask again immediately, and directly brought the bill to us. We only stayed for less than one hour, I literally don’t know why he wants us to leave so bad. So disappointed, bad experience.

I ate the best chicken pad thai of my entire life there, without exaggeration! The servers were adorable. Superb experience I recommend 100% with my eyes closed.

Really lovely service & food. The staff are very warm and friendly and the atmosphere of the restaurant is relaxing.

We had red curry with chicken and beef with massaman curry. The curries were both very tasty, but for the somewhat high price (€22.50) they could have used a few more vegetables. Not even 1 potato in the massaman and hardly an onion to be seen. The red curry had some green beans and some mushrooms. We also found some slices of winter carrot in both curries. This really could be better. The service and atmosphere are top notch!

Amazing thai food, friendly service, good ambiance! Will for sure come back
